Zuckerberg doesn't have a clue
Instead of trying to mimic TikTok, Zuck should do what he did years ago: come up with an original idea.
You can't try to catch a trend. That's how you end up getting burnt.
Nothing in the technology space last forever. And Facebook will probably end up like Myspace.
The issue with Facebook isn't that people are moving to a new product - it's that they have moved on from Facebook.
I hope Facebook fails. Deep down inside, we all want this. 🥳
Zuckerberg literally said the future was video many years ago before TikTok/musically/etc and even Gary Vee. He has a clue and sadly didn’t execute on it. Meta is too big to fail and has plenty of time to figure out multiple viable pivots. So while Facebook as a product may be dying today, the whole point of the rebrand was to rebirth the company for the future. Give him some credit especially for how long he’s been relevant in the industry and how high the stakes are today when he could easily cash out.
Eventually Facebook will fall as every platform will.
The only one im not so sure about is Youtube and Google. I mean there are "competitors" to google but if you ask anyone in real life where they search for stuff, "google" will be the first word to pop out 9/10 times.
As for Youtube. It's just such a large platform. I'm not going to get into details but I don't see that going down at the moment and for a long while.
Well, it wasn't his idea, right? He stole the idea for Facebook. He bought Insta & WhatsApp. That's his spiel. And whether Facebook will go down or not isn't even certain - even though it seems like a lot of people are switching to platforms like Tiktok.
Facebook has a long ways to go before it ends up like MySpace but is for sure on that ride right now. The issue was when facebook went from new to old. TikTok is going to see this same issue when the older generations flood the platform. You have to be coming up with new products for the younger generations so they can escape their parents, relatives, etc.
Zuck knew video was the future. He screwed up by trying to slam it into Instagram. Instagram was cool for photos...then they went 15 second videos which eh whatever. Then into IGTV and now Reels and to be honest it sucks now. With more lengthy videos, accounts I dont follow having their posts slammed into my feed...it simply sucks.
FB same thing news and ads. News and ads. It as the cool place to see what your friends were up to from the night before, what they were into, etc.
The one thing that is holding users to FB is groups. It's just a matter of time before another platform pops up and takes that from Facebook since loads of groups get banned without notice for things like too many reports, etc.
